Chopwood.....have you ever heard of the super-duper fullhouse chain Art Martin invented? He claims it "almost" can't be beat! Ever seen it on the Stihl Timbersport Series? NO!, so if you can get a hank of that, you'll be the first! Good Luck!! LJS

Chopwood,
The two posters right under your last post is a start. I hear that TFJ and LJS can file some barbed wire, But what do I know. I'm just a limp wristed, city boy, west coast big wood racer.

I'm just a lousy chain filer LOL. Thanks for all the info guys, once I get the motor running right, a tickle on my chain is next. THF- PM me with a price, so I know what I'm getting myself into.Marky Mark said:Chopwood,

I just want you to get a look at the guy your dealing with.
I saw a video of a pretty awesome running husky saw with a smokin' chain on it. I'll bet a guy could win some races with it.

I was under the impreesion it was Joe Lamb in that picture. John has the pictures of Tommy giving filing lessons somewhere. It's all in the Devil thread. So look real hard and you to can file race chain. Just like Lamberts bannana chain.

no thanks, I spent too much $ on it to fook it up learnin'
Hey Chopwood,
In the first set of pictures in this thread, there's a shot of you and another guy warming up your saws. I was wondering what that thing is that's right above the exhaust pipe, where the pipe comes out of the cylinder?
Thanks,
Bob

It's called a RAVE, it is a vacuum/RPM operated variable exhaust valve. one of the the things that make those saws so powerful.rmihalek said:

Tommy Fales does awesome work. Just instruct him to keep the filing on the teeth as the torque from the engines can snap the side plates that have been "thinned" when he lightens the chain. Happened to me on the Series two years ago and it scared the crap out of me; the chain went through the aluminum casting above the sprocket, whizzed upwards and left a nice gash on my right hand. Shortly after words, I put a piece of stainless over the area near the sprocket. Word to the wise. Keep the metal the sideplates for that big chain.
There's a lot of guys that do there own filing that's absolutely awesome. Harry Burnsworth has turned it into an art. Terry Taylor in arkansas is also very good at it, but I'm not sure if he's done 1/2 chain before. I'll see if I can think of some more later.
All the best,
Jamie

hmmmmmmmmmmm
Mr. Cogar Do you know how old that chain was ? if it was the one that i sold you. Have you ever seen a 1/2 chain break that was stock? i have . See the problem is with the 1/2 being so heavy and the guys like your self and alot of others run there chain way to tight!! which after time will make your chain brittle. Don't hate the player hate the game
